Default What should I do to fix my rubbing?

Not 100% sure if this is the right section for this.

I'm runnning non-staggered
TSW Nurburgrings 17x9 +62
255/40/17 star specs
HKS Hipermax sport III coilovers(13/11)
-2* camber in the front and rear

My fenders are unmodified and my coilovers are just about as stiff in the front as they'll go. My problem is that I experience rubbing in the front on weird bumps and when I first enter a corner hard(wheels almost straight). Upping the dampening in the front helped out some but it's still their. I haven't taken a wheel of to see where it's rubbing but I'm sure due to the offset of the wheel that it's on the inside.

What should I do? I don't want to roll the fenders and run spacers(can't stand rolled/pulled fenders). I was thinking about maybe getting some Siebon fenders(+10mm) and running some 5mm spacers front and rear. This would bring the wheel out and hopefully get rid of any rubbing. My second thought was to get the Eibach sway bars and hope that the reduction in body roll would do the trick.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Raise the car or stiffen the front springs.

How low are you in the front? I have the same wheels but with 255 rs3. Mine rub the fender liners a bit but have not hit any thing other than the plastic. Maybe raise the car a little and add a little more front camber too.

I'm at 25" from fender arch to the ground. I'll take a wheel off before I decide on what I'm going to do.

So I jacked the car up and their's minor rubbing on the inside and outside. I'm going to raise it a little probably tomorrow to see if it gets rid of it.
